It’s almost the 4th of July and no one wants to stay home and hide on this festive day. But with the real threat of COVID-19, how are you supposed to stay safe, and keep those you love safe, while also having fun. Here are some suggestions that should allow you to give a nod to America while staying safe.
- Have a family BBQ. Rather than going out to BBQ on the beach, or going to a public location, keep your celebration close to home. Enjoy a fun BBQ with your family or even with a few friends if you do so outside and keep a social distance from the other family.
- Rent a private pool or use your own. Rather than going to a public pool or to the beach on July 4th, try to either buy an inflatable or above ground pool for your family’s personal use or rent a pool for private use. Of course, not everyone can afford to do these things, but if they are available, these are a great way to keep your distance.
- If you feel the need to go to the beach, try to go early in the morning when less people will be there. Find a spot for yourselves that is away from other people and keep your distance.
- Watch fireworks from a hilltop or roof. Don’t mingle with tons of people in order to see those fireworks. Remember – the excitement is in the sky and you should be able to find a place to look up where too many other people aren’t on top of you.
Have a great 4th of July. Even if it feels a bit different this year, keep in mind that there will be other years to celebrate and the more careful we are now – the more we will have to celebrate later!
